About Me

ABOUT ME

Oh, where do I begin... I'm good and friendly person.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would want them to treat you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My location is not so attractive for CSers, but I couchsurf, meet couchsurfers in Moscow. Because it's one of the best ways to travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Paris and Copenhagen, then Bergamo and Milano, Kyoto, Sydney, Perth

Interests

Sports: running, skating, cycling. Once in a year I run Moscow Half-Marathon. Not with a great timing, but still less than 2 hours. Would like to run full marathon someday (but too lazy to train for). Probably, it's gonna be NYC marathon.

Travel in my biggest addiction (I even made it my job!). I like to visit new places and come back again to some of them (like Paris). I prefer to travel by plane, I'm trying to avioid busses (maybe because I spend too much time in the bus on the way to work and back home). But also I like outdor adventrures, like cycling. I did some cycling in Crimea (see photos), and travelled from Vyborg to Helsinki; took 5 days and 500 km.
Urban rail systems - metro.
Modern history (post-WWII history), politics - I like to talk about and debate on political issues.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pop music, music of the 80's-90's, a-ha, Queen, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys. Dance music. Also have some strange exceptions from the rule - like Dalida.
Books on modern history, politics. And don't blame me, but I like Harry Potter books - all thanks to my Dutch friend, who gave me two first books as a present!

Easy movies, I'm affraid of scary movies, hate them ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

New York City Marathon 2015. My first and, as of today, only Marathon!
